I think that it's great to watch real cartoonists construct!This is the modern-day substitute of being able to work with people who can actually construct, and having them show you in person.Now I'd like to see more tutorials of people *animating* on paper, talking and recording like this. Maybe then the craft wouldn't die out...

I was at a fair once and there was a guy selling drawings of cartoon characters (Disney, etc.). What I didn't find out till later though, was that his drawings were already lightly pre-penciled and he was just inking them at the booth.

I'd much rather have had a pencil drawing I could watch him do on the spot than something he traced over. Those kids got gypped.

Pete's a great guy...i had him as my character design prof last year at sheridan. Where as most of the profs would just talk non-stop, Pete always did some sort of a demo for us. Was great to watch him work, and it was cool to see him post a tutorial online. Hopefully the first of many. Everyone in the program would go nuts to get a charicature done by him. In fact, my display picture is an Emslie charicature...check it out.

It's really great to see how other people construct a good drawing. Incredibly helpful to watch! It's amazing seeing how he goes from construction to final sketch.

I tried to clean up your George Liquor Shirt Design. The chair is cut off because of a little problem I had with the program. It's my first time cleaning up someone's work digitally, so it's not amazing.

EDIT: Posted it at my blog, the link wasn't updating with the new version.
